MACHINE.
This represents a machine with which 100 yards
of fabric of any description can be measured, from
Cotton Bagging to Finest Silk, In less than five
minutes, and with mors accuracy than can be done
with the "Yard Stick." A boy seven years old can
do the work. These machines will soon be In every
Gin-house and Store in the South, and Carpet and
Bagging Manufacturers cannot do without it. They
are noted for their Rapidity and Accuracy of Work
and for their Cheapness. Manufacturers look to
the future and procure rights at once ! Goods can
be measured from the loom and put in rolls of any
number of yards.
Two of these machines are now In successful
operation at theGlns of Mr. Noah Biggs and Mr.,
